Legal Services for Your Advertising and Consumer Rights Law Needs

You have built a product, a business, a brand, a reputation. In a complex world of quickly changing laws that regulate everything from advertising to consumer protection to fair business practices, we stand by you to protect and defend what you have worked so hard to achieve.

Accomplished Advertising and Consumer Rights Law Attorneys

At Carter Conboy, our attorneys make it their business to know your business – from the intricacies of your company to industry-specific standards and regulations, to the uniqueness of each product, to the demographics of your consumers.

We take an interdisciplinary approach to our work, coordinating the most experienced and capable team of attorneys to address each client’s distinct needs. As consumer protection laws and regulations impact the spectrum of business – from advertising to compliance to cybersecurity – it is vital to retain a full-service law firm such as Carter Conboy with a deep bench, experience across sectors of industry, and the resources necessary to mount successful strategy and defense.

Our Advertising and Consumer Rights Law Clients

Carter Conboy clients are distinctive and equally important and regarded. We represent individual clients, small businesses, and companies with regional and statewide needs. We are local counsel to law firms outside of the upstate New York area, and national coordinating counsel to Fortune 500 companies.

Comprehensive Advertising and Consumer Rights Law Services

New York State is one of highest regulated markets in the United States. There are codes, rules, and regulations for every industry imaginable – agriculture and markets, banking and financial services, economic development, education, environmental conservation, food and beverage, health, insurance, labor, and transportation – just to name a few.

These regulatory agencies operate at multiple levels – state, city, county, and regional – and are advocates for consumer rights. Agencies charged with consumer protection are responsible for issues, including receiving and investigating complaints, conducting investigations, licensing and regulating professional service providers, and prosecuting offenders of consumer laws.

Planning, Risk Management, and Claims Avoidance

Our attorneys stay current with the complex and ever-changing local, state, and federal codes, rules, and regulations to provide sound and trustworthy advice, strategy, and representation to our clients. We develop and implement effective compliance plans for our clients so that they can manage their business legally and compliantly. Our solutions help manage the risk associated with the development, design, manufacturing, advertising, marketing, and distribution of consumer products.

Regulatory Investigations and Compliance

When a governmental agency believes you have been non-compliant with a regulatory law involving a consumer product, they will act aggressively and methodically. Carter Conboy provides our clients with the experience and knowledge necessary to efficiently traverse regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings. Our practiced attorneys negotiate with compliance agencies and defend against government investigation, including those brought by the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Justice, Department of Consumer Affairs, and New York State Office of the Attorney General.

Litigation

If you find yourself on the wrong end of a lawsuit, it is essential that you hire a tested litigator skilled in defending individuals and companies in specific matters concerning allegedly deceptive, abusive, and unfair business practices adverse to consumers. Our trial attorneys have this niche capacity, possessing the experience, industry and trade knowledge, exposure to and relationships with government agencies, and the resources to defend and protect our clients.
